Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán shares his impressions of his trip to Moscow to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, and promises more "unexpected meetings", in an interview with Roger Köppel, editor-in-chief of the Swiss website and weekly Die Weltwoche.

Viktor Orbán calls it "unbelievable" that he spoke with Putin, "if only because you can imagine what he controls".

"You mention warheads, but there is also territory, population and the vast natural resources at their disposal. So it's a real empire. "One man who controls a real empire," Orbán declared.

According to him, the trip to Russia was organized under conditions of extreme secrecy. Orbán adds that he kept it a secret "as long as he could".

The Hungarian Prime Minister also notes that "such unexpected meetings" they may also take place next week, but he did not specify with whom.

Russian President Vladimir Putin hosted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in the Kremlin on Friday (July 5th) for talks, including on Ukraine.

At the press conference with Putin, Orban said that during his trips to Moscow and Kiev, he realized that the two sides' positions on the war in Ukraine were "very far apart".
